Just rain, no damage

We had big storms roll through last night, but we just had rain, no damage or trees down. Just thought I'd update in case anyone was wondering about us. It was a pretty crazy storm though....Bob went up and got Parker and brought her downstairs to sleep in our bed. We've never done that before, and she was thrilled of course. Hopefully she won't want to do that everytime there's storm. Usually she sleeps right through them anyway.
Here's a picture of her 'pillow fighting' me. I assumed certain readers would be annoyed if all I posted was a weather report and not a Parker pic.

Right handed writing


There was a comment from my mother about the previous writing picture, asking about Parker holding her pencil left-handed. I looked back at the outtakes, and of 6 pictures, 3 were right handed, and 3 were left handed. Yesterday at school she did a drawing and put arms on it, and the teacher said she drew the right arm with her right hand, and then switched hands to do the left. I've seen her do this before, especially when eating, but not recently. She is primarily right handed though.

Spanish confusion:

"Is b'asagna (lasagna) Spanish for spaghetti?"

"Is coupon Spanish for credit card?"

Hopefully that last one isn't some sort of racial slur. I'd hate for her to ruin her chances for public office because she was misquoted on a blog at age 3.

Enjoying outdoors


Here's Parker sitting outside and working on her writing/drawing. We have beautiful weather this weekend, following the dime-sized hail we got Thursday night. In this picture, she's not shocked or surprised, she's talking.

She had a soccer game this weekend, and actually played for about 25 minutes. And for her efforts, she earned 25 M&M's....which she later chose to trade for a certain cup at the grocery store that she's been bugging me for . "Played" soccer is a bit of an exaggeration, since she really just ran up and down the field, and tried to stay away from the other players, especially the ones kicking the ball. It's a start though.
